Revised Community Travel Support Guidelines
The ALAC noted that At-Large is unique within the ICANN community in that virtually all volunteers in At-Large activities, including those involving travel, do so as true volunteers. Without ICANN travel support, the number of active At-Large participants at ICANN meetings would be few in number. The ALAC specifically commented on wire transfer and foreign exchange fees/losses, visa reimbursement, travel insurance, ICANN arranged travel, room guarantees, forced overnight delays, early check-in and late check-out, as they pertain to the successful participation of the community during ICANN meetings.
AFRALO-APRALO Statement:Middle East and Adjoining Countries (MEAC) Strategy 2021-2025
The AFRALO and APRALO joint statement was the first joint RALO statement within the At-Large Community, in response to the ICANN MEAC Strategy 2021-2025. The countries that fall under the MEAC Strategy within AFRALO and APRALO provided feedback on strategy topics as security, ICANN's governance, unique identifier systems, and geopolitics.
Note: Ratified by the AFRALO & APRALO Leadership Teams and the ALAC.

Dear All,
Agenda Item:
Public Comment for Decision
Proposal for Malayalam Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules – Second Public Comment Proceeding
I know that the mother tongue of my good professional friend Mr Satish Babu is Malayalam and I would go by his opinion first. During 2000 - 2002, I was actively associated with UNICODE for Indian Scripts. The attached paper captures the core concerns in working with Indian Scripts. This is my choice for this purpose. You may find it useful. I will be happy to assist if necessary.
Satish Babu
Thanks Dr Gopal. We would be requesting one of our ALSes, the Swatantra Malayalam Computing (SMC), which specializes in computing with South Asian writing systems, to see if they would like to comment on the LGR proposal.
With kind regards
satish

It has been my pleasure interacting with our good colleagues preparing the AFRALO Statement i.e Regional Plan for 2021 - 2025. My comments are retained in the Google Doc. I will be happy to provide any further clarifications. Please e-mail to me for quick response at <gopal@annauniv.edu> ; <gopal.tadepalli@gmail.com>
